This reports the electrical properties of single-crystal β-gallium oxide (β-Ga₂O₃) vertical Schottky barrier diodes (SBDs) with a different guard ring structure. The vertical Schottky barrier diodes (V-SBDs) were fabricated with two types guard ring structures, one is with metal deposited on the Al₂O₃ passivation layer (film guard ring: FGR) and the other is with vias formed in the Al₂O₃ passivation layer to allow the metal to contact the Ga₂O₃ surface (metal guard ring: MGR). The forward current values of FGR and MGR V-SBD are 955 mA and 666 mA at 9 V, respectively, and the specific on-resistance (R_on,sp) is 5.9 mΩ·cm² and 29 mΩ·cm². The series resistance (R_s) in the nonlinear section extracted using Cheung's formula was 6 Ω, 4.8 Ω for FGR V-SBD, 10.7 Ω, 6.7 Ω for MGR V-SBD, respectively, and the breakdown voltage was 528 V for FGR V-SBD and 358 V for MGR V-SBD. Degradation of electrical characteristics of the MGR V-SBD can be attributed to the increased reverse leakage current caused by the guard ring structure, and it is expected that the electrical performance can be improved by preventing premature leakage current when an appropriate reverse voltage is applied to the guard ring area. On the other hand, FGR V-SBD shows overall better electrical properties than MGR V-SBD because Al₂O₃ was widely deposited on the Ga₂O₃ surface, which prevent leakage current on the Ga₂O₃ surface.

As the connection between spread footing and pile is very important structural connection, it acts as the inter-loading medium to transfer the rail loads applied by superstructure to ground through the body pile of foundation. The experimental study is the method how to reinforce the pile cap between steel pile and footing utilizing perfobond plate with protruding keys. It were experimented on the compression punching tests and bending moment tests against the vertical loading and horizontal loadings acting on head of steel tube pipe. As a result, the tension capacity of the perfobond plate exhibited the superior performance due to the interlocking or dowel effects by the sheared keys of perfobond plate, and there were showing the sufficient strength and ductile capacity against the bending moment of horizontal loading tests. Therefore, it is judged that "the embedded method of perfobond plate in pile cap and footing" which is utilizing the shear connection of perfobond plate with protruding keys has a sufficient structural stability enough to be replaced with the current specification of reinforced method of pile cap with vertically deformed rebar against the vertical compression loads and bending moments that are able to occur in the combination structure of steel pile and the footing foundation.

The F3D(Free-Form Formwork 3D Printer) technology that manufactures EPS(Expanded Polystyrene) formworks for irregular-shaped concrete structures by 3D printers was developed to reduce the cost and time. Because of weak strength and low elastic modulus of the EPS, structural performance including lateral pressure by fresh concrete of the formwork that consisted of EPS should be investigated. In order to calculate lateral pressures acting on formwork, several variables including sizes, shapes of formwork, tangential force(fricition) between fresh concrete and formwork, and material properties of fresh concrete should be considered. However, current regulations have not considered the properties of concrete, only focused on vertical formwork. Galleo introduced 3-dimensional finite element analysis models to calculate lateral pressure on formwork. Thus, proposed finite element analysis model based on previous studies were verified for vertical formwork and irregular-shaped formwork. The test results were compared with those by FEM analysis. As a result, the test agrees well with the analysis.

A laterally driven electromagnetic microactuator (LaDEM) is presented, and a micro-optical switch is designed and fabricated as a possible application. LaDEM provides parallel actuation of the microactuator to the silicon substrate surface (in-plane mode) by the Lorentz force. Poly-silicon-on-insulator (Poly-SOI) wafers and a reactive ion etching (RIE) process were used to fabricate high-aspect-ratio vertical microstructures, which allowed the equipment of a vertical micro mirror. A fabricated arch-shaped leaf spring has a thickness of $1.8{\mu}m$, width of $16{\mu}m$, and length of $800{\mu}m$. The resistance of the fabricated structure fer the optical switch was approximately 5$\Omega$. The deflection of the leaf springs increases linearly up to about 400 mA and then it demonstrates a buckling behavior around the current value. Owing to this nonlinear phenomenon, a large displacement of $60{\mu}m$ could be measured at 566 mA. The displacement-load relation and some dynamic characteristics are analyzed using the finite element simulations.

The interfacial area transport equation dynamically models the changes in interfacial structures along the flow field by mechanistically modeling the creation and destruction of dispersed phase. Hence, when employed in the numerical thermal-hydraulic system analysis codes, it eliminates artificial bifurcations stemming from the use of the static flow regime transition criteria. Accounting for the substantial differences in the transport mechanism for various sizes of bubbles, the transport equation is formulated for two characteristic groups of bubbles. The group 1 equation describes the transport of small-dispersed bubbles, whereas the group 2 equation describes the transport of large cap, slug or chum-turbulent bubbles. To evaluate the feasibility and reliability of interfacial area transport equation available at present, it is benchmarked by an extensive database established in various two-phase flow configurations spanning from bubbly to chum-turbulent flow regimes. The geometrical effect in interfacial area transport is examined by the data acquired in vertical fir-water two-phase flow through round pipes of various sizes and a confined flow duct, and by those acquired In vertical co-current downward air-water two-phase flow through round pipes of two different sizes.

Photoisomerizing molecules which can transform their structure by the light irradiation have great deal for the application of photo-switching devices. And azobenzene is the representive type of the photoisomerizing molecules. It can transform their trans- structures into cis- structure as the light for certain wave lengths they receive. This property shows the potential of ON/OFF switching functionalization which can be used into the nano scale photo switch. Furthermore, many studies are interested in the organic linkers that connect the azobenzene and metal electrodes. We used S, $CH_2S$, $(CH_2)_4S$ as the linker to watch the influence of linkers for electronic properties. So We suggest a photoswitching device based on the vertical junction using the first-principles calculations with density functional theory and non-equilibrium Greens function (NEGF). By analyzing the electronic structure and tunneling current caused by the structural difference of the system between cis- and trans- azobenzene, the difference in switching mechanism, ON/OFF ratio and transmission will be watched as the linker changes. And finally We will suggest which linker would be the better for the optimal device architecture which can achieve high control of the ON/OFF photocurrent ratio. This result will show the potential of azobenzene-based photoswitch and provide the critical insight in constructing the optimal device architecture.

지역규모의 정확한 일기예보와 해양생태계 변화 이해에 있어서 수온 예측은 매우 중요하다. 황해는 조류가 매우 빠르고 탁도가 높다. 이러한 해역에서는 수치 모델의 수직 혼합 기법 및 해수의 탁도에 따른 수형(water type)이 수온 구조 결정에 많은 영향을 미친다. 수직 혼합 기법 변화와 탁도의 변화에 따른 황해 수온 모사의 민감도를 알아보기 위해 3차원 해양 순환 모델인 Regional Ocean Modeling System (ROMS)을 사용하여 수치 실험을 수행하였다. 수직 혼합 기법은 해양 순환 모델에서 많이 사용되는 Mellor-Yamada level 2.5 closure(M-Y)와 K-Profile parameterization (KPP)을 사용하고, 탁도는 Jerlov의 분류에 따른 수형 1, 3, 5를 사용하여 수치 실험을 수행하고 그 결과를 국립수산과학원에서 제공하는 정선 해양 관측 자료와 비교, 분석하였다. M-Y 기법은 수직적 혼합을 상대적으로 강하게 모의하였으며 그 결과로 저층수온이 높게 형성되었다. 높은 저층 수온은 탁도를 높게 설정하면 완화되지만 표층 수온이 높아지는 단점이 있다. KPP 기법은 M-Y 기법보다는 수직 혼합을 약하게 모의하고 이 약한 수직 혼합 때문에 황해 연안을 따라 형성되는 조석전선을 잘 재현하지 못하였으나, 저층 수온은 관측 수온에 더 가깝게 재현하였다. 결과적으로 황해 3차원 해양순환 모델실험에서 M-Y 기법은 수직 혼합이 잘 되어 표층과 저층의 수온 차이가 작게 나타나고, KPP 기법은 이와 반대로 모의하였다. 탁도의 영향을 표현하는 Jerlov 수형은 높을수록 일사량이 낮은 수심까지만 투과되어 성층을 잘 표현하였고, 낮을수록 깊은 수심까지 일사량이 투과되어 표층과 저층의 수온차를 작게 모의하였다.

Parkinson's disease (PD) is a typical, chronic neurodegenerative disease involving the concentration of dopamine, which can disrupt motor activity and cause different degrees of gait disturbance relevant to PD severity in patients. As current clinical PD diagnosis is a complex, time-consuming, and challenging task that relays on physicians' subjective evaluation of visual observations, gait disturbance has been extensively explored to make automatic detection of PD diagnosis and severity rating and provides auxiliary information for physicians' decisions using gait data from various acquisition devices. Among them, wearable sensors have the advantage of flexibility since they do not limit the wearers' activity sphere in this application scenario. In this paper, an attention-based temporal network (ATN) is designed for the time series structure of gait data (vertical ground reaction force signals) from foot sensor systems, to learn the discriminative differences related to PD severity levels hidden in sequential data. The structure of the proposed method is illuminated by Transformer Network for its success in excavating temporal information, containing three modules: a preprocessing module to map intra-moment features, a feature extractor computing complicated gait characteristic of the whole signal sequence in the temporal dimension, and a classifier for the final decision-making about PD severity assessment. The experiment is conducted on the public dataset PDgait of VGRF signals to verify the proposed model's validity and show promising classification performance compared with several existing methods.

In this paper we deal with the virtually zero power control for the rigid rotor with radial suspension by the permanent magnetic bearing and axial suspension by electromagnetic bearing. The purpose of the virtually zero power control is to reduce the power consumption of the electromagnetic bearings. The axial active force is expressed by the normal second order equation which has only one degree-of-freedom. The virtually zero power control structure has two schemes. One is the coil control current integrator which is used to make the convergence of the control current to a range which is very close to zero. By using the current integrator the DC component which is included in the control current is eliminated, thus the control current converges to a range which is close to zero. The other is normal PD control loop which is used to make the rotor reach to stable equilibrium point and to maintain air gap so that the axial force produced by radial permanent magnet always balances the total weight of the rotor and its load. First we show a simple mathematical plant model and the virtually zero power (VZP) control blocks. Second, we investigate the theoretical feasibility and the stability of the proposed virtually zero Power control levitation system with PD feedback loop by using linear control theory Finally we show the effectiveness of the proposed control method to reduce the power consumption by simulations.
